THE Independent Pilots Association (IPA) that represents 2,900 UPS pilots has reached a tentative agreement with UPS Airlines on a new two-year contract extension that paves the way for improvements in compensation and retirement packages.
The actual ins and outs of the agreement will not be disclosed before the union presents it to all UPS pilots, reported London's Air Cargo News.
IPA president captain Robert Travis said this would occur within the next month and that the union would make 'an unqualified recommendation for ratification'. The deal had been unanimously approved and endorsed by the five-pilot IPA executive board, he noted.
The contract must be ratified by a majority of UPS's pilots, with voting completed on March 31. If ratified, the new agreement will extend the IPA's contract with the express logistics carrier until September 1, 2023.
